    Great video. The 1983 stock was delivered to Neasden overnight by pairs of class 31’s and two brake vans as barrier vehicles. One of the brake vans arrived at Neasden with a defective bearing and was not allowed to return on LUL tracks. It sat at Neasden for a few months before it was scrapped on site. Dave.

      Sounds about right! I did miss out on some 83 stock bodyshells a while back sadly

    Underground Eric , as a very knowledgeable expert on the tube underground: have you heard of , the disused station walled off from tracks. Used by army as a transit camp, for troops due to be sent to the many trouble spots in the 1950s guarded by redcaps, army police , to stop runaways, as conscription at 18 ,whom mostly being trained for cannon fodder !
    Mainly troopships , long time at sea : Malaya;Cyprus Korea Kenya etc , me by air ,28 hours to Nairobi , converted bombers Viscounts , not pressured, only five hours before refueling ! Hope of interesting boring ?

    Great video - really enjoyed watching you put this together. I always say every railway video should have a couple minutes running session at the very least. It's just nice to see them going through the scenes you worked so hard to put together. Personally, I'd love to see some more London-ish stock and some EMU's working their way!

    Hi eric. well done with that train. by the way by varnishing your canal and painting it brown then light green will give a good finish. Thats what i have done on Acton Wells.

    Genius indeed. You could pretend that the 47 is taking the tube stock for scrap somewhere. You might have to do an inventory soon to see what you do have under the boards. Good one Eric, enjoyable as always.

    Super video, as always, and a good use for spare tube stock to make an interesting and unusual rake. 62 stock always ran as four-car units on the Central line and were delivered as such. There's no real need for a fifth car in the rake as I think that even when they went for scrap it was mostly as four-car sets. I can't immediately recall why there's a fifth car in the west end RAT, I'm sure the answer is on Google unless someone chips in to respond to this. Keep up the good work and merry Christmas.

    • @UndergroundEric
      @UndergroundEric  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thankyou, yeah the 5 car set is because it is just a standard-ish 4 car unit but with a rail adhesion car thrown in the middle, which is what im thinking of doing with my spare bodyshell now, as you are quite correct, they were 4 cars so would look odd. I was just a little excited i think 😂

    Not sure if anyone has said, but I was informed that when the 62 stock was delivered, the cab end units faced inwards. Useless fact of the day.

  • @Jules-zo3ds
    @Jules-zo3ds 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great video and very informative. I didn't realise there are two RAT 62 trains. I thought west end had a 92 one but I'm guessing with the shortage of 92 stock at the moment, they may have brought some more 62 out of retirement. Just a thought, if you're going to make a RAT train, which would be quite nice to film, why not make it a track cleaner? In the days before John's replacement bogies, I converted the original EFE axels by threading them through some brass tubing and adding a bit of lubricant. It's a bit of a faff as they are machined to grab the wheels which needs to be smoothed to get the tubing over and then gluing the wheel back on. It was a vast improvement over the original, probably not quite as good as pinpoints but a lot cheaper.

    • @UndergroundEric
      @UndergroundEric  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks, yeah the eastern end of the central has an 8 car 62 stock, the west end has a 5 car. The extra cars on the eastern one help prevent it from getting gapped ect, they can swap over if required but its unusual.
      That would be a great idea actually, its just wether i could make it run reliably enough is all! I could use an extra trailer car that i would slot into the consist, there was even a proper rail adhesion car livery some years back!

      @Jules-zo3ds 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I remember a very tatty paint job on the sandite car and the rest in very poor looking unpainted aluminium with riveted metal strips over the door rubbers. There used to be a 1960 Track Recorder that used to follow it around but I haven't seen that for years.
      Hattons used to do a motorised track cleaner that towed around. One of these would be a good candidate for a 62 mod.
